High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Rhiwbach Tramway was a British industrial narrow gauge railway connecting the remote slate quarries east of the Blaenau Ffestiniog with the Ffestiniog Railway. The tramway was built by the Festiniog Slate Quarry Co. Ltd. in 1863 to carry slate from the Rhiwbach quarry to the Ffestiniog Railway's Duffws Station. The quarries connected to the tramway had no practical road access as they lay at an altitude of around 1,560 ft (475 m) above sea level in a remote moorland. The tramway rose by three inclines through Maenoffren quarry to reach the plateau, where it ran on an approximately level course east towards Cwt y Bugail Quarry. From there the line turned south to the head of the incline down to the Rhiwbach quarry which lay below the plateau in the Machno valley.
